The Wish That Man U Fans Will Regret

LVG was relieved of his duties this morning as Manchester United's manager, as it may not come as shock to the football world, United supporters got their wish that will turn sour. I for one is a fan of Van Gaal his CV speaks for himself and his record speaks for it's self. He's  been given time everyone where he's gone where he's managed great sides. I think yet again Manchester United a club that I though had morals that stick by their managers are going backwards just like they did by sacking Moyes in 2014.

He lead his team to an FA cup, yes they didn't qualify for the Champions League, but I think Vaan Gaal has worked well under pressure, he's had 14 injuries and yet brought through some exciting youngsters like Lingarrd, Fonsu Mensah, Varela and man of the moment Rashford. United should've let the Dutchman see out his contract and pave the way for Giggs to take over, who seems his on his way out of Old Traffiord along with Van Gaal and his backroom staff too.

With the Special One as the bookies favorite to lead the Red Devils next season, this appointment will not be a good move going forward. Man United are a club that thrive on stability and longevity as Sir Alex, Matt Busby were there for a long  time. We all know Mourinho get's bored and will leave eventually, he will certainty bring trophies and might bring back the glory days. But you cant stop and start like many clubs do but it doesn't surprise me anymore as United have lost the plot and are following fashion in not giving managers time and sacking them. Another reason why I'm against Mourimho is that he doesn't develop youths, is his tenure at many clubs he's coached, how many youths has he let go and let rot in the reserves? This will be a bad move as I'm fearing for the futures of the next, potential class of 92 who could take the footballing world by storm, but could be ruined and sent to others teams where potential could just be thrown in the bin. As its re-occurrence with the Portuguese tactician.

Hodgson Picks Squad For Euro's

Goalkeepers: Joe Hart (Manchester City), Fraser Forster (Southampton), Tom Heaton (Burnley).

Defenders: Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Chris Smalling (Manchester United), John Stones (Everton), Kyle Walker (Tottenham Hotspur), Ryan Bertrand (Southampton), Danny Rose (Tottenham Hotspur), Nathaniel Clyne (Liverpool).

Midfielders: Dele Alli (Tottenham Hotspur), Ross Barkley (Everton), Fabian Delph (Manchester City), Eric Dier (Tottenham Hotspur), Danny Drinkwater (Leicester City), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), Adam Lallana (Liverpool), James Milner (Liverpool), Raheem Sterling (Manchester City), Andros Townsend (Newcastle United), Jack Wilshere (Arsenal).

Strikers: Wayne Rooney (Manchester United), Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur), Jamie Vardy (Leicester City), Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool), Marcus Rashford (Manchester United).

This will be the England squad looking to take on Europe's finest in this summer's Euro's. I think its's not a great squad but it's not bad one either as many neutrals feel Hodgson left out many quality players. Yes the jury is out on young gun 18 year old Rashford, but let's be honest he will not be in the final 23, neither will Delph who has been frozen out in his debut season at City. 

The midfield is looking strong with many quality options as great as Wilshere is, he's only played like 2-3 games this season, to me this is unfair to midfielders like Carrick who may in the twighlight of his career and Mark Noble who has been a stellar player for the last 10 years for West Ham. But yet because Roy has favourites they get liberties, which I believe players should get picked on merit not because they're teachers pets. I'm glad Drinkwater is in the squad and hope he starts as he's been one of the best midfielders with Delle Alli this season. 

I think Rooney should be playing in a number 10 role and not on left of a 3 man forward line which is suggested. Many said Defoe should be in the squad, okay he's single handily saved Sunderland with his 15 goals, but like Carrick he's old and when you've got Kane, Rooney, Vardy and Sturridge there's no space for the former Tottenham and Portsmouth man. It's going to be peculiar how he uses man of the moment Alli. But I think England can go to the semis if all players are focused and with Kane or Vardy playing upfront they'll be a handful to defences as Germany were woken up to a rude awakening months ago. 

This is my my England 11 who I feel should start 

                                                                               Hart, Clyne, Cahill, Smalling, Betrand, Drink Water, Alli, Sterling, Rooney, Lallana, Kane, formation 4-5-1.

Can Leicester Win The Title Next Season?

Once again my hats are off are out to the foxes who have hit the mecca of football, what a great advert and inspiration they have been for the beautiful game. They deserved to win the title and every plaudits that have come their way. Mahrez, Kante, Vardy, Huth, Gray, Albrighton and the Leicester squad has turned the script on its head and has done what possibly be can't done in British football. We'll they be like Blackburn 1995 who won the league and next season they withered in mid table? Can they keep their heroes? And can they play up to the demands of Europe as well?

They say never say never in football. But I doubt they can do the miracles they have done this season. Pep Guardiola and Man City will invest heavily and come back, Man Utd with or with out LVG will be looking to come back and so will Chelsea. I doubt Leicester will be able to attract stellar names of world football and compete with top boys next season.

We'll be talking about this for the next 100 years, but in a season where the big guns have choked and I'm not taking anything from Leicester, lets just say the Cladio Raneiri's men took advantage and were very fortunate. Where many included my self were tipping them to fall off in January, where they didn't I commend them but when you have to compete in 4 competitions and the Man City's and Chelsea's of this world resuming back to normal I'll doubt Leicester will be able to cope next season.

Jamie Vardy Wins FWA Gong

What a success story its been for man of the hour, Jamie Vardy it's been such a success that its going to be a Hollywood movie. It was well deserved he won the Footballers Writers player of the year award, for someone whose peaked late in his career and considering he was playing non-league football just 4 years ago with a Premiership title on it's way and looking to stake a claim for England in the Euro's this summer the world is Vardy's oyster right now.

He broke Ruud Van Nistleroy's record in scoring in 11 consecutive matches and netting 22 times in 36 games. Vardy has been one of the best forwards in the league this year, with his potent feet, pace and running in behind defenses, he's been one of the reasons why Leicester will be looking to be crowned champions sooner rather than later. This is what football is all about, this is the stuff of dreams that a big Hollywood script writer couldn't conjour up.

 After winning the prestigious award that has seen the likes of Vanistleroy, Henry, Hazard and Bale who have been previous winners, this is what the England international had to say "Thank you also to my team-mates, who are the reason I’ve been able to achieve anything.

"It’s been an amazing season for all of us at Leicester, based on the team-work not individuals, which you can see in the voting. Thanks also to the manager, all the staff and the fans for their support.

"We’re all totally focused on getting over the line in the final two weeks of the season and turning a great season into one we’ll never forget. Hopefully I can contribute to that and, if selected, carry some good form into the Euros this summer.”
